https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_China

> Obesity in China is a major health concern according to the WHO, with overall rates of obesity between 5% and 6% for the country,[2] but greater than 20% in some cities where fast food is popular.

> Rapid motorization has drastically reduced levels of cycling and walking in China. Reports in 2002 and 2012 have revealed a direct correlation between ownership of motorized transport by households in China and increasing obesity related problems in children and adults.

> A leading child-health researcher, Ji Chengye, has stated that, "China has entered the era of obesity. The speed of growth is shocking."

You're sooooo clever.

Not me, I made this account 7 days ago. Check my history.

> And then you wonder about the obesity crisis.

And for the record:

I don’t give a shit about the obesity crisis.

Or any other drug, mental health, crime, or demographic problem facing any country.

I only care about the number on my bank statement.

Well, my private equity partner accounts, but you get my point.
